Mark80 Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Cool video. I have a feeling these guys might become famous.

Nextmanup Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 It's absolutely fascinating how Jimmy Page has slowly turned into an aging Oriental man with the passage of time! I'm not sure biologists fully understand the processes involved.

I have this on my left arm, in black: I and my buddies were little kids in the late 1970s when Led Zeppelin ruled the world. We were only like 9 years old, but we know of them and liked their music. I remember joining a record club where your first 10 albums or something cost like 1 penny; then you got a new album each month that you could keep or not buy or something. One of the initial albums I got was "ZOSO" or Zeppelin IV! Had it on vinyl man....later destroyed in a flood in my mother's basement! Anyway, my buddies and I referred to your tattoo or their 4th album as "ZOFO" as we thought the 3rd letter was an "F" and not an "S". True Story! LOL. 3 minutes ago, row_33 said: he kept his hearing and was able to mix the amazing recent releases. I kid Jimmy b/c I love Jimmy. I am the biggest Zeppelin fan you'll ever meet. I listen to their music daily and started playing the guitar solely so I could learn Zeppelin music, which is not easy to play. The first real riff I mastered was the classic from "Black Dog". Took me nearly 1.5 years to play it correctly. Edited January 10, 2019 by Nextmanup

I was in middle school (1984) when I decided to really get in to Led Zeppelin. I remember calling my brother, who is six years older than I am and asking him where to start. He told me to start with Led Zeppelin II, so I did. Loved it. Then I went to Zep I, III and kept going in order. in hindsight, I think starting with II was really good advice. Lastly, Page looks like David Carradine in the picture above. Edited January 10, 2019 by Gugny

Yes he does look like Carradine! II is probably my favorite album, then IV, then 1, then III. Houses of the Holy has some good stuff, and after that, it gets kind of bleak kind of quickly. Really, the first 5 albums are what built their place in history and what I think of as true Zeppelin. While on this topic, it's worth noting that "Rock 'N Roll", "Black Dog'" and "Stairway to Heaven" (for God's sake!) appear on a SINGLE side of the same album! Zeppelin IV. Name a better album side of rock 'n roll history! You can't. All 3 of those songs will be played, listened to, and celebrated as long as there are humans around listening to music.

You give up certain habits and rituals and if you survive you come out kind of mellow. Rinsed-out if you are not a billionaire.... Edited January 10, 2019 by row_33

III is my favorite. I loved the radical move from the sound of II. The only studio albums I don't love are Presence and In Through the Out Door. I like them both, but not nearly as much as the others. Coda has some awesome stuff on it.

III is up there for me as well. I've heard that the break before Celebration Day was a recording that the engineer screwed up and lost, the look Page shot at him would have been scary Edited January 10, 2019 by row_33

My pony tail’s too tight!”)

Interesting choice. They began doing the whole 'Alistair Crowley' black magic sound then. It's a great album but I'd say 1 could be my fave. The only good song on Presence is Achilles Last Stand. It's in my top 5 Zep songs. Coda is good because they picked the best of what was left over after Bonham died, from what I know. There wasn't much left, however.
